title: Genital tuberculosis: case report and literature review.
abstract: A 64-year-old woman complained of abdominal pain and postmenopausal bleeding. A uterine curettage demonstrated acid fast bacilli and non caseating granulomas, indicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A chest roentgenogram revealed the presence of bilateral upper lobe calcific granulomas. The epidemiologic, diagnostic, and therapeutic implications of genital tuberculosis are discussed.
